Seattle Sounders will take on Los Angeles FC (LAFC) in the quarter-final of the Leagues Cup at the Lumen Field on Saturday.
LAFC are second in the MLS Western Conference standings and will be confident of booking their place in the semi-final. They beat San Jose Earthquakes 4-1 in the Round-of-16 and will be a difficult opponent to beat for Seattle Sounders.
Seattle have scored seven goals in their last two matches, and while they are not favourites to win this based on recent form, they are sure to put up a good fight.
